Question : Hi! I have a really irregular period, I have not had it since January and lately I've been having cramps, and really bad got flashes.. I don't know if it has anything to do with that. I have bumps all over my back and chest and all the people I've gone to have said it could be due to a hormonal imbalance. I haven't gone to a gynecologist yet but I know I should. I'm 20 years old.

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Delayed and irregular periods, bumps on the back and hot flashes are suggestive of hormonal disturbance, especially polycystic ovarian disease.
In this condition, there is irregular periods, acne, hirsutism and polycystic ovaries.
I will suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get proper examination, investigations and treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
